Gutbomb heaven!
Been there, done that, needed the industrial strength Pepto. :D

(They didn't mention a Wisconsin fair favorite, the cream puff!)

Extreme fair food
Think you've seen everything that can be fried, battered and put on a stick at the Florida State Fair? You haven't.

Think you've seen everything that can be fried, battered and put on a stick at the Florida State Fair? You haven't.

TAMPA -- If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from Carousel Concessions at the Florida State Fair.

If you know what's good to eat, you'll head straight for the red-and-white striped tent as soon as you push through the turnstiles. (Carousel is just past the Charles M. Davis Special Events Center on the way to the animal exhibits.)

Olivia Orme and her merry band of fair cooks have brought something so decadent to the midway that it makes the footlong corn dog seem like diet food:

Battered and deep-fried candy bars.

Rub your eyes if you must and read it again. Battered and deep-fried candy bars. Milky Way and Snickers, to be exact. How over the top is that?

The candy bars are skewered on sturdy sticks -- it is the fair after all -- and then dipped in a sweet batter, something like funnel cake goo. Into hot vegetable oil they go, and round and round they twirl until golden brown. A dusting of powdered sugar, a few minutes of cooling and they are ready to eat.
